DuR WASHINGTON Letter.

Written and compiled ior the hhHNLp'
The weeks dOings in Congress
have been varied and interesting.
There have been important debates
on the subject Of coast defenses,
ships, Notifications and guns that
cannot he made in a day-Congres-
sional funeral abuses have been at
tackled and defended-dry appro-
priation bills are always on the
calendars of both branches OF Con-
gress-and the all important ques-
ton Of "What 10 do with the Treas
ury surplus" has not been neg
lected.
There was talk in the Senate a
few days ago during which Demo
cratic pretenses of ECONOMY were
exposed, and the alleged eXtrava-
gance Of the Senate disprOved. The
House loudly lauds itself these
DAYS for economy. The subject OF
the coast survey was up, and the
House was accused OF an attempt
to break up this work by gripping
il with an insufficient apprOpria-
ton.
Senator Allison confessed that he
had been tempted many times since
the Democratic Administration
came into power to let the House
have a chance of experimenting on
its economy. The House made in
adequate appropriations merely to
be credited with economy, knowing
full well that the Senate would IN
crease them so as to meet the nee
essary expense involved. Mr. Al
lison explained by a long list OF
figures, that the Administration
was no more economical than the
former, and that the Senate had
not, ia former years, appropriated
more than was necessary for the
running expenses of the Govern
ment.
Senator Hawley, Of Connecticut,
EXPRESSED great disappointment
that the superintendent OF thecoaSt
survey, for the first time in its his
tory, was not a gentleman Of high
scientific attainments; in fact, was
not a scientist at all. IT was a most
extraordinary departure from the
uniform practice, and was great
administrative mistake. The Office,
with a $4,000 salary, is filed at
present by a 81 600 Treasury clerk.
The bill to prevent the appoint
ment of Congressional funerals at
public expense, has been up in the
House. Representative Hammond,
Of Georgia, thought il best to leave
the old custom undisturbed. lie
did not believe the newspaper talk
about improper conduct by funeral
committees. He had never attend
ed one. but he knew gentlemen who
had, gentlemen of high tone, and
incapable Of misconduct OR such
occasions.
Congressman Oates of Alabama,
criticised the practice severely, de-
claring that it vas not a mark OF
respect or of sincere sorrow. But
for his respect for the Senate and
House, he could mention some cases
Of misconduct on the part OF mem
bers of Congress while accompany
ing the remains Of q deceased col
league ia its place of burial, which
would shock the country.
Mr.. Allen Of Mississippi, who is
it not humorous, said he
had submitted some sensible, re-
marks on this subject last geCslon.
These remarks had taken aNeep
hold on the country, and had\so
impressed his constituents that they
bad returned him to the Fiftleth
Congress without opposition. Gas
soon as | reached home,' added he,
1an old friend said John you we're
light about Congressional funerals.
Fell Congress it need not bury you,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: i was one Of
Easements men at Franklin, and was but a few
steps cast OF the cottin-gin, handing out ammu-
milton from one Of the wagons parked in the
rear Of tlfe 10th Ohio, when TO my surprise
the line gave way apparently without an in
stants check at the rlhe-pits, and before was
aware Of il myself and others similarly en-
pl0yed were passed in the rush and ordered TO
the rear by Gen. G0TdOns men Of Cleburne's
(rebol) Division. i need not give the language
used in ordering me back, but will say that it
was with great reluctance that obeyed. ! was

walked as slow as possible toward the pike,
in order TO pass in the rear Of some pieces Of
artillery that the enemy were vainly trying TO
discharge along our line TO the left. Near the
pike lay wounded batteryman, who called me.
While speaking 10 him ] was watching the APP
prOach of the reserve brigades following Cor
don. These troops came on beautifully aligned
until within about 30 or 40 yards Of our works,
when they were met by that terrible right
oblique fire from Easements men, who but
few moments before had destroyed Stewards
advance brigades This fire was the most
destructive that j ever witnessed. What a
moment before was fine, compact column Of
heroic veterans Of many battles was now
struggling, domOralzed mass. Men went down
IN heaps. Some would rise and advance, only
10 iail again. Every man among them was
hero. They were led by mounted officer, who
came on, riding in the advance Of their line
All came on who were not disabled, until this
officer fell. AT this moment my attention was
attracted by ringing cheer from our reserves,
who We're just passing around the cotton gin
/ The 10th Ky. rushed up 10 and reOccupied our
abandoned works near the point where was
standing. Those brave fellows came with the
! cry, Leave the flags for the suffers"
UP 70 this time there were at least 90 Con-
federate standards lying about on the ground
and IN the hands Of unsupported color-bearers.

tuckian knocked down a Confederate color
bearer, wrenched away his flag threw il on the
ground, trampled il under his feet, leaving II
there, and rushed on with his comrades 10 meet
the enemy At the works
Now a word for 0pdycke's brave fellows.
They were not quite up with the Kentuckians,
as the latter were lying nearer the advance
work when the rush was made, but their work
was just as effective, and have always thought
that had those gallant men who were on the
reserve that afternoon been in the advance
works, the Twenty-third Corps would have
been saved the only humiliation it ever received.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: IN a recent
issue saw an extended article on the battle OF
Hawess Shop, In May, 1864. After reading the
article carefully had doubts as TO whether /
wa In that battle OF not, but finally made up
my mind that the LIST n. J. Cav. was thar" /
remember very distinctly that the 10th N. Y.
Cav. became engaged in the edge Of the woods,
and il ] remember rightly they were outnum-
bered and forced back. The LIST Pa Cav, the
twin regiment of the list n. j., went 10 the
assistance Of the New Workers, while we were
looking every moment for an order for us 10
dismount and go in too. We didn't have TO
wait long before the order came. The order
"Counto of by fours rang out, and No. I,hold
the horses; two, three and four 20 into the
fight"
This was quickly done and the line dashed
forward toward the woods from which the bull
lets were coming Getting into the woods, il
was every man for himself After driving the
rebels back short distance we came 20 a
rickcty fence, and about 80 yards ina front of il
was another fence. Behind that fence the
rebels made a stand. We had our breech leaders
and They muZzle-loaders, and such firing Both
eldes were losing Too many men 10 stand il
long and an order 10 charge was made. We
charged, but when we got 10 the fence the
enemy presented bayOnets at us and we ran
bdck' AZ lew minutes Gen. Custer came up
on the flank with his brave Michiganders. and
acharge was made along the whole lne The
way we scattered the rebels in that charge was
caution. But what sight was presented &c

been lar greater than ours, owing 10 thesuperi.
